Bauhaus’ Peter Murphy Releases Two Live Solo Albums

One of the icons of the post-punk years, Peter Murphy fronted the dark art house crew Bauhaus. His charismatic and dangerous personae, combined with his stunning voice and razor-sharp cheekbones, saw him become one of the pin-ups for what was to be mis-labelled goth. Post Bauhaus, he released a series of acclaimed solo albums and fronted the band on their intermittent back from the dead reunions before the band finally collapsed in 2023. Now, through his own Silver Shade Records via Cadiz Music, Peter Murphy adds two new live albums to his ever-expanding catalogue that is available on CD and coloured vinyl here.

First up, is Peter Live Volume Three that was recorded live in San Diego in 2000 with a live band that featured Kevin Haskins (Bauhaus), Eric Avery (Janes Addiction) and Pete DiStefano (The Psychedelic Furs). The second release is Peter Live Volume Four that was recorded in Chicago in 1990, Volume Four features Paul Statham (B-Movie), Peter Bonas (Zen Attack), Eddie Branch (UK Decay) and Teri Bryant (John Paul Jones)
